Ternary Alloyed Ba-Cd-S Nanocrystals: Synthesis, Bandgap Tuning, and Photovoltaic Performance

AgInS2/CdSe type-II core/shell quantum dot-sensitized solar cells with an efficiency of 11.75% under 0.1 sun

“…44 2.3 Preparation of AgInS 2 core QDs AgInS 2 QDs were grown onto an mp-TiO 2 electrode using a twostage successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. [45][46][47][48] First, binary Ag-S QDs seeds were grown onto an mp-TiO 2 electrode. Second, binary In-S QD seeds were deposited on the Ag-S QD seeds.…”

Highly Efficient CdSe Quantum Dot-Sensitized Solar Cells via a Facile SILAR Method: Dependence of the SILAR Cycles on Optical Properties and Photovoltaic Performance

“…The photoelectrode, outlined in our earlier publications [15][16][17], comprised a TiO 2 structure on an FTO glass substrate organized into three layers. Initially, a TiO 2 blocking layer was created by spin-coating 50 μl of a 0.247 M titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) solution onto a pre-cleaned FTO glass surface.…”

“…The CuS counter electrode was fabricated using the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method [18]. The polysulfide electrolyte [15,16] was applied between the CdSe photoelectrode and the CuS counter electrode prior to performing photocurrent-voltage (J-V) measurements. The analyses comprised Xray diffractometer (XRD) assessment, UV−Vis spectrophotometer measurements for optical spectra, and J-V tests, following the methodology detailed in our earlier reports [15,16].…”
